A North Platte man is facing charges after he allegedly threatened to kill a woman while children were present.

At around 5:43 p.m., on July 26, officers responded to the report of a domestic assault at a residence in the 2200 block of West 2nd Street.

Officers met with a 25-year-old female and 25-year-old Cory Tabbee, there were also two children under the age of five present.

It was reported that the victim had told Tabbee that she was going to leave and take the children with her.

According to Investigator John Deal, Tabbe became upset and grabbed a kitchen knife, raised it up over his head and threatened to kill the woman if she left with the children. Deal says the children were present while this took place.

The alleged victim was able to get out of the residence and call police.

Following further investigation, officers determined that there was probable cause to place Tabbee under arrest and charge him with felony terroristic threats, use of a weapon to commit a felony and child abuse.

Deal says the children were not injured in the ordeal and remained in the custody of their mother. Tabbee was jailed at the Lincoln County Detention Center.

An Indiana couple is lodged in the Lincoln County Detention Center following a traffic stop in North Platte last night.

At around 7:22 p.m., on July 25, an officer on patrol observed a 2002 Ford Escape run the red light at Leota and Dewey Streets.

The officer conducted a traffic stop in the Kwik Stop parking lot, 1421 South Dewey Street, and made contact with the driver, 27-year-old Melissa Sancillo.

The officer requested identification from a male passenger in the vehicle, who handed him a Social Security card.

As the officer attempted to confirm the identities of the vehicle’s occupants, the passenger took off running. After a short foot pursuit, the officer deployed his taser and was able to apprehend the man, later identified as 42-year-old Troy O’Brian, a name that was different than that which appeared on the Social Security card.

Investigator John Deal says officers believed that Sancillo was under the influence of alcohol, and administered a series of field-sobriety tests, which Deal said confirmed their suspicions.

Further investigation revealed that the Escape had been stolen in Indiana.

Both Sancillo and O’Brian were transported to the Lincoln County Detention Center. Sancillo was charged with driving under the influence of liquor and possession of a stolen vehicle. O’Brian was charged with obstructing the police, possession of stolen property and criminal impersonation.

A search of Indiana arrest records showed that O’Brian was arrested in Gary, Indiana on July 13 and charged with false informing and resisting law enforcement with bodily injury.

Deal says the duo gave a few stories about where the were going and where they were from.

The Buffalo County Sheriff’s Office says the body of a man found in the Platte River in early-June has been positively identified.

Shortly after 4:00 p.m., on June 10, law enforcement was called to the north channel of the Platte River near the Bassway Strip Wildlife Mangement area, near the Minden exit on Interstate 80.

Authorities recovered the body of an adult male who was said to have been in the water for “quite some time.” At the time, investigators were not able to establish the identity of the man, known as John Doe 16B. An autopsy was conducted and concluded that the cause of death was drowning, with no evidence of foul play.

Law enforcement reached out to the public through social media outlets and media resources throughout the region.

On July 26, Captain Bob Anderson says the BCSO received numerous tips. Anderson said that through this information, the man has been identified as 40-year-old David T. Neal. Anderson said Neal was originally from Iowa but had also lived in Sterling, Colorado.

According to Anderson, Neal was last seen in the Kearney area on May 9. Investigators learned that Neal had purchased a raft and was observed near the Platte River.
